Sometimes the media asks questions that they personally know the answer to educate the uninformed, what was Comey's answer?

Fortunately, the media in this country can still ask any question they want.

No matter how much Trump doesn't like it.

"The FAKE NEWS media (failing New York Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS, CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"

Here's what Trump said to Chris Wallace, who asked hard questions and unlike the shadow president hasn't gotten another interview:
"What a stupid question that is. What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions."
Notice he didn't answer the question and implied that anyone who questioned him was stupid.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Let's see, who gave anti trump speeches, certainly anybody who is critical of Trump hates him.

1. Republican George w. Bush
2. Obama gave a speech and never said Trump's name, so much whining about the speech that the next time he said Trump' name
3. Celebrity Spike Lee gave a speech and never said Trump's name, that really set Trump off. Apparently it is racist to not mention Trump.
4. Republican Mitt Romney
5. Celebrity Matt Damon
6. Republican Ben Sasse
7. Celebrity Meryl Streep
8. Republican John Boehner
9. Celebrity Anne Coulter
10. Republican Mia Love
21. Khizr Khan
22. Republican Jeff Flake

I used the Trump counting method and threw in an extra 10

you missed the point, or
more likely, danced around it because it didn’t serve your agenda. stupid speech is stupid. Hate speech is hateful. Neither of those things, is under the jurisdiction of the FBi to shut down.

Perhaps you missed Comey's answer in your article, you could take it to heart.

“That’s not a role for government to play," Comey replied. "The beauty of this country is people can say what they want, even if it’s misleading and it’s demagoguery."

He continued: “The people (who) should have shut it down were Republicans who understand the rule of law and the values that they claim to stand for. Shame on them, but it wasn’t a role for government to play.”
